assistant
The Spanish–American War was an armed conflict fought between Spain and the United States in 1898. It began after the U.S. government sent a letter of ultimatum demanding that Spain relinquish control of Cuba. After Spain refused the demands, hostilities began on April 25th, and ended with a treaty on December 12th. The war resulted in the U.S. gaining authority over Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines from Spain.
